The AirTAC SDA80X120 Compact Cylinder | 80mm Bore is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 120mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.
The AirTAC SDA80X120 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered to deliver a substantial 2513.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa. By utilizing a short riveted body that permanently joins the barrel, rear cover, piston and rod, this design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint in tight layouts. The 80 mm bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and a robust Ø25 mm piston rod.
This specific configuration includes a 120 mm stroke, matching the bore's 130 mm maximum standard stroke limit to provide extended travel within a minimized profile. End-stop energy is managed strictly by a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which decelerates the piston near the stroke terminus rather than acting as a lock or brake. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic position sensing out of the box.

Provides the 2513.3 N push force required to eject heavy formed metal panels from a stamping die, utilizing the 120 mm travel to fully clear the mold cavity.
Raises lowerator forks to position packed goods onto outbound pallets, where the compact riveted body minimizes frame interference and the fixed NBR bumper absorbs the end-stop impact.
Drives the separation of thick-walled plastic injection molds, applying up to 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa to break the vacuum friction between heavy tooling halves.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your force requirements carefully. Stepping down to the SDA63 yields 1558.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the SDA100 provides 3927 N. If your mechanism must hold a load vertically without live air pressure, note that this cylinder will drift; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. Confirm your ordering essentials: 80 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M14x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder generates 2513.3 N of push and 2267.8 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 3518.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and runs at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
No. This model relies solely on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke; it does not feature an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks the -S piston magnet, meaning it cannot support reed or electronic switches for position sensing.
